God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
If you keep burning the candle at both ends, sooner or later you will indulge in more and more mean cynicism – and the line between cynicism and doubt is a very thin one. Of course, different individuals require different numbers of hours of sleep: moreover, some cope with a bit of tiredness better than others. Nevertheless, if you are among those who become nasty, cynical, or even full of doubt when you are missing your sleep, you are morally obligated to try to get the sleep you need. We are whole, complicated beings; our physical existence is tied to our spiritual well-being, to our mental outlook, to our relationships with others, including our relationship with God. Sometimes the godliest thing you can do in the universe is get a good night’s sleep – not pray all night, but sleep. I’m certainly not denying that there may be a place for praying all night; I’m merely insisting that in the normal course of things, spiritual discipline obligates you get the sleep your body needs.
The Scriptures teach that the happiness or blessedness of believers in a future life will be greater or less in proportion to the service of Christ in this life. Those who love little, do little; and those who do little, enjoy less.
Chopped parsley and browned flaked almonds to garnish
1
ts
Soft brown sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large saucepan sweat off the diced onion in the butter. Wash, trim and
dice the celery, add to the onion and continue on a low heat. Remove and
bruises from the apples and grate them into your pan, discarding the core.
Cook for a further 10 minutes before adding the stock, seasoning and sugar
~ beware too much salt if you are using a stock cube. Bring to the boil,
then simmer, lid on, for 30 minutes - don't over cook or the celery flavour
becomes jaded and the colours dull. Allow to cool a little before
liquidising thoroughly. Pass through a large mesh sieve to ensure there are
no stringy threads of celery remaining. Check seasoning and consistency,
adding a little milk if needed. Serve in warmed bowls, sprinkled with
parsley and the browned almond flakes.
